In the last days of 2023, I embarked on a hiking journey to the Canary Islands.
Renowned as a destination for tourists and beachgoers, these islands are also a heaven for hikers, and boast an array of diverse ecosystems, from coastal dunes to pine forests to volcanic terrains.
My journey took me along the #GR131 route traversing #Tenerife and #GranCanaria.

A sunset in a high altitude pine forest. Small clouds ripple in the skies, lit by orange rays from above. A number of tall pine trees rise from the ground, obscuring the sky and the setting sun with the clusters of their dark needles.
A panorama of mountain ranges stretching to the horizon under a clear blue sky. Some green trees and bushes in the foreground, while multiple mountain range and continue one beyond another.
Mountain Teide dominates the landscape of the island of Tenerife. Its perfect conical shape sits in the middle of the picture, under a slight ripple of high altitude clouds on otherwise clear skies. The terrain around and below the mountain resembles a giant bowl covered with the sparse desert vegetation.
An evening panorama of an evening desert landscape. The sun just set on the left side of the picture, while the moon has just risen on the right. The ground and the sea are list by the rays from both directions, giving them a feeling of unreality. The street lights from the distant towns further away, add a few more dots and lines to the overall picture.
